Film evaluation of 1 million ways to die in the west

Just as Teddy Bear subverts people's cute and naive association with plush toys, MacFarlane wants to subvert people's romantic impression of westerns this time. Yellow sand in the desert, lonely cowboys in exile in small towns and beautiful women waiting for the rescue of heroes. No, this is the west of kevin scott, this is the west of Eastwood, but not the west of MacFarlane. In his view, if you are not a tough guy, you would be dead in the western region where the law of the jungle and only heroes can save the town and beautiful women. That romantic western region is likely to be your burial place, and there may be one million ways to die!

Although the film spoofs one million ways of dying in the west-being shot by a pistol, killed by a bison, killed by an ice cube, killed by a camera, killed by a poisonous snake, killed by his own fart, killed by a turtle, killed by a mushroom, killed by a man-eating flower, fell into a pit and so on, MacFarlane doesn't want to scratch the audience's armpit, but subverts the most mature western genre film in America. So in the film, you can see all kinds of spoofs on classic westerns: soft cowboys and beautiful women save heroes.

With two hours of hilarious laughter, MacFarlane made the unbreakable western movies that have been rampant in the film industry for decades disappear in the hearts of the audience, and constructed a brand-new westworld with spoof and subversion, in which the hidden feelings were-even if he died, let the ideal of a little person be restored on the big screen. There is always a gap between comedy and farce. Whether a rival in love is drugged and diarrhea, or a pub and a friend fake-fight, the joke in the film is attached to the plot, not for fun. (Comment on Mu Ming) For the director of western films, we can only talk about paying tribute rather than subversion. The hero's role is like a modern man put into the ancient world, telling many words and jokes used by modern talents. Although such a situation seems to bring a lot of tension, the old-fashioned weak and messy editing of the script makes the development of the story old-fashioned and warm, and the jokes in the play are also very patchy, which has nothing to do with the main axis of the story. The whole film is almost a personal show of the director. (Sina Entertainment Review)
